—Philippians 4:2-9

We are instructed to rejoice, be gentle, worry about nothing, and pray about everything. The promise that follows is, “God will bless you with peace that no one can completely understand. And this peace will control the way you think and feel (v.7, CEV). We have the easy part. God is the one who gives us that kind of peace. It is conditional. Most times we are so busy worrying that we do not have time to pray. It is no wonder that we do not benefit from His promised peace. Let us make the effort to ensure that our hearts and minds get the guard of God’s peace.
